Supercomputers to my knowledge aren't really something you ruin governments with. I mean, yes, they could use it to brute-force encryption must most of the delicate stuff is under really heavy stuff that pretty much is impossible to brute force on their own (Was it AES?). When it comes to military it would pretty much just be simulations, etc.
Even more, supercomputers are sold with "runtimes" which dictate how long an organization can access it, something akin to Cloud Computing, at least I know that's how they do it when it comes to calculating the weather.
